About LVRA Wiki

LVRA Wiki is a collection of links, resources and guides for using VR on Linux. Its quickstart directs users with standalone or wireless headsets to WiVRn and users with wired headsets to Envision with Monado and xrizer, with a diagram showing how OpenXR, OpenVR, runtimes and display methods relate.

It also lists additional tools for SteamVR and Monado/WiVRn setups and links to hardware information and a game compatibility database. It notes that SteamVR for Linux is a development release with worse results than the FOSS options, and that visitors can contribute resources they find useful.

LVRA Wiki FAQ

What should I use for a wireless versus a wired headset?
Use WiVRn for standalone, Android, or wireless headsets. Use Envision to run or compile Monado and xrizer for wired headsets such as Index, Vive, WMR, Oculus, or Rift.
Do I still need SteamVR after setting up the FOSS stack?
No. WiVRn with xrizer or Monado with xrizer serve as replacements for SteamVR, so you will not need to launch SteamVR anymore.
Is xrizer required for OpenVR games?
Yes. xrizer is necessary for OpenVR games to run. It may be included with WiVRn or Envision, depending on installation method.
